Scoop Beta 0.31 release
Following some initial feedback on the Scoop Beta 0.30 from RefreshingApps and a few Technical Blogs now reviewing the software I’ve made some enhancments to the application in the latest update 0.31. These include:
- Optimization of feed updates for both non Google Reader account holders and those with Google Reader logins. The initial import takes a little while if you’ve got a lot of feeds to sync but the regular updates after that should not be a lot quicker and less of a processor hog
- Command+Q on OS X now quits the app
If you’ve already downloaded an earlier version of Scoop just quit the app and reopen it - wait a couple of seconds and you should be prompted with an Upgrade Available window which will enable you to update your version of the App.
Scoop Beta (v0.25) just launched
The first public beta of Scoop - version 0.25 - is now available as a free download.
Scoop is an RSS Feed Reader Adobe Air Application with offline/online Google Reader syncronization built in. It keeps track of multiple Google Reader accounts simultaneously. Read, tag and star your scoops/posts on the train or wherever you like and Scoop will syncronize your changes with Google when you’re back online.
Current features included in this first Beta:
- Offline mode - all new posts/feeds get stored locally + offline changes you make get syncronized with Google when you’re back online
- Instant notifications of new scoops/posts from your favorite blogs and websites.
- Popular Google Read keyboard short cuts like J/K for moving forwards and backwards through your reading lists.
- Auto-update feature - the application will alert you when a new version of Scoop becomes available.
